Also, these were two very shitty situations I was involved with. The main one, I had already purchased a plane ticket and then they resold it to someone else. You proclaimed alpha's sit on your hands on that one and then get back to me.

Read an article today about how more and more seniors - that's senior citizens - are having their retirements impacted by mounting student loan debt, either their own or that of their worthless kids. Either way, it's crazy. The liberal debt-dealers have done an amazing job shackling people with massive student loans for largely worthless degrees. It should be criminal - instead it is somehow perfectly acceptable. The liberals will fight tooth and nail to prop up their indoctrination centers, even as it ruins lives.

No, this is what's wrong with this country. Immediately just name calling something with the group you hate to try to prove a point. I really don't think it's some liberal, or right wing conspiracy or anything to why college is so damn expensive and has been ballooning. It's just a bunch of greedy people, left and right and center who are pumping up college costs for their own gain. They don't have to have a political leaning to want to have money.

But do, please learn me good how starving education in the first place has given the pretext to drive these institutions to want to jack up prices, or how the "liberal" workforce has demanded that they only hire college grads, even if it's in these "worthless" degrees. Or how even those who do graduate with not worthless degrees, such an engineering, like my friend, are unable to find jobs in his field, or if he does find a job they are low paying and not worth his degree (we're talking 40k a year). Or how we shouldn't be sending our kids to gasp, get a higher education because it might turn them more cerebral and open minded, and no longer agree with me! The horror. But no, this is the all the libs fault. Nothing else.

Maybe there should just be a usage fee for ever-y-thing. Send your kids to school? Pay the fee. Drive across town on public roads? Pay the fee. Build your house in a new neighborhood that needs water/sewer? That's already called a special assessment tax.

I guess that gets kind of messy when you need to use police services though. I read a book where you had to pay any time you used police services and it was a crap show (another Octavia Butler book, "Parable of the Sower", very good).

Why do you hate poor people?

Maybe the fee could be income-based? Also I said it doesn't really work.

You gotta know how to work the system folks. Don't be a hater, be a congratulater.

By this logic you should have been congratulating that poor GPC writer last night.

I like you wacky, but you were unnecessarily an a-hole to a college kid. You don't have to like little Gates or GPC, but he was just reporting Snyder's story there. You didn't have to push that on Twitter.

Fair. I owned up to it on the Twitter combo board. I wasn't proud of myself this morning if that helps.

My timeline is filled with his millenal friends telling me how awesome he is and how jealous I am. I don't know if I can bring myself to apologize, but I guess I will.

That Tim Everson guy, collegian editor involved himself and then blocked me immediately(I never followed him). Millenals are so pillowy soft. Add that to what's wrong with America

18 year olds are legally adults, sure. The vast majority of 18-26 year olds I've ever met are still children.

It was a play off your definition of adults, I'm sure you already knew that though.

Not to get all "back in my day" on here, but I've definitely seen a huge difference in college students since the 10 years I've been out. Like, they're way more whiny and soft and self entitled. Kinda scary.
